# --description--

In order to use a function, you need to call it. A <dfn>function call</dfn> tells your application to run the code from the function wherever you choose to call it. The syntax for a function call is the function name followed by parentheses. For example, this code defines and calls a `test` function.

```js
function test() {

}
test();
```

Call your `padRow` function.

# --hints--

You should call the `padRow` function.

```js
assert.lengthOf(code.match(/padRow\(\)/g), 2);
```

Your `padRow` function body should be empty.

```js
assert.match(padRow.toString(), /\{\s*\}/);
```

# --seed--

## --seed-contents--

```js
const character = "#";
const count = 8;
const rows = [];

--fcc-editable-region--
function padRow() {

}

--fcc-editable-region--


for (let i = 0; i < count; i = i + 1) {
  rows.push(character.repeat(i + 1))
}

let result = ""

for (const row of rows) {
  result = result + "\n" + row;
}

console.log(result);
```
